with the Republicans in eecting officers of
these institutions. Again, upon such rumors
did these charges rest, and he would never con-
sent to accuse man upon newspaper state
ments. He, too was unduly exercised over the
REQUEST for designations He was not willing
that just men should be thus condemned. He
would never believe that these men were dis
honest until it shown by indisputable evil
dence. evidence that woul9 secure conviction.
The termination of these investons. he did not
think, will justify the reflections in this pre-
amble. His speech was defense for his party
and semi-apology for those under charges.
At the close of Representative Jewetts speech
Speaker Sayre remarked that the amendment of
the gentleman was out of order, inasmuch as it
attempted TO curtail the duties of the Speaker
The joint convention itself can doubtless decide
who shall preside over its deliberations but it
cannot be done by concurrent resolution.
Representative Gardiner, in defense of the
preamble made one of the stirring speeches of
the session. He referred to the startling facts
that had been disclosed in regard to the southern
prison and Insane Asylum as sufficient to con-
cemn without qualification the management OF
those institutions. The people demanded the
earliest possible change. and to effect this was
the purpose of the resolution, which the Demo
Gratis were trying to delay The purpose should be,
without regard to party, ito tuIn the rascals
out" Representative Roberts said that the con-
dition of the institutions strongly called for
partisan management, but he could not vote to
cast reflection upon his party, or upon some
trustees who have not fallen under the ban OF
public opinion Democrats generally explained
their votes, expressing willingness for joint
convention, but not called under resolu-
ton rejecting upon their party as this preamble
did. Representative Worral made the very re-
markable excuse in that he knew 1.-THE southern
prison, from top TO bottom, from the highest Off
GER to the lowest dog, was rotten and some of
the benevolent institutions were corruptly man
aged" but he could not do otherwise than vote
for tho amendment to strike out the preamble.

Senator Daniel, of Virginia. like many
other southern men, is an. admirer and
lover of fine horsefesh. He was going
the other day to run over to the trotting
races at Hartford when he said: 1t must
eventually come about that the trotting
races will be popular, because it is in this
gait that the horse combines utility with
speedy action. 1t is as the roadster. that
the horse is most available kr pleasure
and practical service. In recent article
written by Judge Hughes, of Richmond,

the development in the trotting gait which

Tie thoroughbred animal is to be found
on the great plains and level stretches OF
the country, where his natural gait is
running. SThe trotting gait, Judge Hughes
thinks, comes to the animal as he is trans
ferred to undulating countries, where he
is obliged to adapt his footing to rising
and falling thOr0ughfares. That would
be the natural development of the run

Inlre ON n General.

Apropos of Gen. Faidherbe, an amusing
anecdote is related of an adventure which
befell him when he commanded the Army
of the North in the war of 1870. His
charger, a splendid gray Arab, had been
wounded at the battle of Pont Noyelles,
Sand the general was obliged to leave it be-
hind him at farm. Some days after, as
Gen. Faidherbe was at lunch, a non
commissioned officer of the Prussian army
came up with French dragoon and a
horse which Gen. Won Cohen had sent him
with polite message, believing it to be
his property. The horse was miserable
ANIMAL and Gen. Faidherbe, amazed at
the apparition, asked the dragon for
an explanation. The man related
That he had been taken prisoner with three
comrades by patrol of German cavalry
two DAYS before, and that he had hit on
the bright idea of representing himself as
the orderly and his horse as the fayorite
charger of Gen. Faidherbe The German
officers had communicated his statement
to Gen. Won Cohen, who had courteously
returned the animal to the Rrench general.
Gen. Faidherbe, however, asked the Ger
man soldier to take the dragon and the
horse back with him, and the man had to
return crestfallen at the failure OF his
ruse. Gen. Won Cohen, as soon as he
learnt the truth, directed that diligent
search should be made for the Arab, but
it had been so carefully hidden away that
he never succeeded in restoring it TO his
adversary.-C Chicago Times.

Work and Length OF Lie

Before the day of science and statistics
il was very well known that the charac-
ter of a mans work aud the conditions
under which he has TO labor make a real
difference in the length of life to which
he may fairly look forward. But in spite
of the increased attention paid to SUBJ
jects of this kind during the last few
years, very few people really recognize
how powerful for good and evil these in-
fiuences are, and will be astonished at the

"And what if can remove it without

But can yougn said she, locking up in
half credulous way. "If you can, do 1t

Then the ieweler took the swollen
finger and wound it round from the top
downwards in length of fiat rubber
braid The elastic cord exerted its force
upon the tissues of the finger gently and
gradually until the flesh seemed to be
pushed down almost to the bone. The
old woman's hand was then held above
her head for brief interval Then the
bandage was quickly uncorded and re-
wound about the member. This was re-
peated three times, and finally it was
found upon uncovering the finger that 1t
was small enough to admit of the rings
being removed with ease.

the jeweler, "and have removed many

wines which Are "sick."

The paternal tenderness with which

and consumers, is amusing. They speak
of it as being sick" describe its dds.
case" and their remedies as though 1t
we're sentient being; and its diseases,
like our own, are now attributed to bac
cilIi. bacteria, or other micrObia.
Pasteur, who has worked out this ques-
ton of the origin of diseases in wine, as
he is so well known to have done in ami
mails, recommends lin papers read before
the French academy in May and August.
1867 that these microbia be killed by fill
ing the bottl, close up to the cork, which
is thrust in just with sufficient firmness
to allow the wine, on expanding, to force
IL out little, but not entirely, thus pre-
venting any air from entering the bottles.
The bottles are then placed ia a chamber
heated to temperature ranging from As
degrees to 100 degrees G (113 10 212 de-
grees Fahrenheit, where they remain for
an hour or two. They are then set aside,
allowed to cool, and the cork driven in.
1t is said that this treatment kills the
microbia, gives to the wine an increased
bouquet and improved color-in fact,
ages it considerably. Both old and new
wines may be thus treated.

Langston In a Bad Light.

PETERSBURG. VA, Aug. 2.-In the Lang
ston-Ruffin murder case the court was en-
gagged all the morning in hearing evidence
for the prosecution, which was very unfa-
vorable to the prisoner, establishing posi-
lively the shooting, apparently without
provocation. A witness, who saw the shoot
ing, testified that Langston charged Ruffin
with stealing his pipe. RuiIin denied it..
Langston called him liar and Immediately
shot him down. The defence will endeavor
to show that All operation performed upon
Rufiin caused his death, but the physicians
who testified secuted such n view.
Tho entire afternoon session of the court
was taken up in hearing expert testimony
DR.. III. G. Leigh was witness, and his ex-
animation covered the whole field of alb
dominal wounds and surgery. II was more
rigid because the defense Is seeking 10 con
vince the jury that Ruflins death was
caused rather by the SUI geon's knife in the
operation for his relief than by Langs-
toms bullet, which perforated and LAGER
ated the intestines The prisoners counsel
presented an array Of questions which
evinced thorough study Of the subject and
elected some very interesting scientific In
formation, but the experts conclusion was
that death was without doubt caused by tho
bullet. The whole medical faculty are
deeply interested in the case, ms a number
of them assisted at the operation. Other
experts will be examined tomorrow
